＊Dunedin DoubleWood 18YO 40% ABV ＊Oamaruvian Cask Strength 55.88% ABV Nose: Bold port-soaked raisins followed by dark cherries, cloves and various stone fruits. Water and time brings out pecan praline, almonds and balsamic reduction glaze.
Taste: A vibrant taste of dried fruits, including dried cherries and strawberries, intertwined with almonds and nutmeg leading to a palate covering liquorice sweetness spiked with anise.
Finish: A slightly drying and energetic see-saw between the spices and sweetnesses experienced. Somewhat acidic on the tongue, but it carries a very pleasant balance along the drawn out port-like finale.
＊High Wheeler 21YO 43% ABV Nose:Elegant balance of baked pear and vanilla crisp with gentle floral notes. Taste:Pear sweetness again, smooth and clean body. Finish:Chilli pepper warmth giving way to a long salty and sweet finish.
